Dr. Robert Waldinger is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Director of the MGH Center for Psychodynamic Therapy, and Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest longitudinal studies of adult life ever done. His research focuses on the lifetime predictors of healthy adult development, studying 2 groups of men recruited as teenagers from Harvard College and from Boston inner city neighborhoods, and who have been part of the Study for 80 years. His 2015 TED talk about the Study has been viewed by over 28 million people and is the 8th most viewed TED talk of all time.

Both the quality and quantity of interpersonal relationships have been linked with cognitive, emotional, and physical health in late life. Secure attachment to important others is hypothesized to play a central role in wellbeing throughout the lifespan, but relatively little research has been done on security of attachment in late life marriage and links with wellbeing. Dr. Waldinger's researchers conducted in-depth interviews with each member of 80 octogenarian couples who were part of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, an 80-year longitudinal study of adult life. These interviews were rated for security of attachment to spouses. In this talk, Dr. Waldinger will present an overview of attachment in couples with case examples, and then present findings on links between security of attachment and cognitive functioning, physical health, and emotional wellbeing in late life.

Case Presentation: Overcoming Sadomasochism - The Transformative Power of Psychoanalysis

Join us for a case presentation and discussion of a young woman's psychoanalytic journey. She was initially drawn to painful, humiliating, sadomasochistic relationships. Through psychoanalysis she became capable of making different choices about relationships.

Join us for a case presentation and discussion of a young woman's psychoanalytic journey. She was initially drawn to painful, humiliating, sadomasochistic relationships. Both her inner psychic world and her outside life consisted of only victims and perpetrators. Her gender identifications were entrenched and limiting. Through psychoanalysis she became capable of making different choices about relationships, and she avoided self-defeating behaviors. She developed over time the capacity to truly love and be loved.

Before the advent of antipsychotic medications, the only treatment options available to psychiatrists who worked with patients with psychosis in the first half of the 20th century were talk therapies and brutal somatic ones, notably frontal lobotomy. The results of the psychoanalysis of psychosis were decidedly mixed, but over the last 35 years negative, even hostile attitudes toward talk therapies with psychotic individuals have taken root.

This talk will endeavor to address appropriate concerns while also revisiting the utility of a psychoanalytic approach toward patients with schizophrenia and other psychotic illness. We will review of the history of the seminal contributions of psychoanalytic thinkers to theories of psychosis, as well as their applications. The benefits, limitations and dangers of psychoanalytic treatments of psychosis will be addressed.

GRADUATE SOCIETY

Scientific Meeting

Panel | Saturday October 26, 2:00PM - 4:30PM

This panel will introduce and illustrate through clinical process material basic concepts relative to Ferro’s Field theory, focusing on their implications for analytic listening and interpretive intervention (e.g., the Field as “emotional gps;” “casting of characters” and “signals from the field;” saturated and unsaturated interpretations; analytic discourse as the adult, verbal “Squiggle Game”). It will also touch on the relationship of Field Theory to certain undeveloped intimations in the work of Freud and some contemporary (non-Lacanian) French psychoanalysts, such as Andre Green.

Panelists:

Howard Levine, MD

David Power, MD

CME/ Social Work CE Credits Available: 2.5

Howard B. Levine, is a member of APSA, PINE, the Contemporary Freudian Society, on the faculty of the NYU post-doc Contemporary Freudian track, on the editorial Board of the IJP and Psychoanalytic Inquiry, editor-in-chief of the Routledge Wilfred Bion Studies Book Series and in private practice in Brookline, Massachusetts. He has authored many articles, book chapters, and reviews on psychoanalytic process and technique and the treatment of primitive personality disorders. His co-edited books include Unrepresented States and the Construction of Meaning (Karnac 2013); On Freud’s Screen Memories (Karnac 2014); The Wilfred Bion Tradition (Karnac 2016); Bion in Brazil. (Karnac 2017) and Andre Green Revisited: Representation and the Work of the Negative (Karnac 2018). He is the author of Transformations de l’Irreprésentable (Ithaque 2019).

David G. Power is a founding member of the The Boston Group for Psychoanalytic Studies. He is Past President, Supervisory and Teaching Analyst at the Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis and on the faculty of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. He is the co-editor with Howard Levine, of Engaging Primitive Anxieties of the Emerging Self (2017). He maintains a private practice in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and supervision in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Resting on the contributions of Bion, Winnicott and the Barangers, Nino Ferro’s Field Theory marks an important contribution to analytic technique applicable to the treatment of all patients across the diagnostic spectrum. It is part of a broad movement at the frontiers of contemporary psychoanalytic thinking and practice that has helped move us from a predominant focus on uncovering unconscious contents to an additional focus on the creation and strengthening of psychic processes, such as waking dream thought and night time dreams, containment and affect tolerance and the production and containment of thought.

Ferro’s Field Theory has sharpened analytic listening, allowed analysts a broader and more refined range of interventions, made some of what has been called the intuitive ‘art’ of psychoanalysis more describable and therefore more teachable to students as a matter of technique and helped more clearly define the intersubjective participation of the analyst in the analytic process. While applicable to the analysis of neurotic patients, Field theory has also proved useful in extending the reach of analytic treatment to primitive mind states, such as borderline and narcissistic disorders, addictions, perversions, psychosomatic disorders and the sequelae of early or massive trauma.

This panel will introduce and illustrate through clinical process material basic concepts relative to Ferro’s Field theory, focusing on their implications for analytic listening and interpretive intervention (e.g., the Field as “emotional gps;” “casting of characters” and “signals from the field;” saturated and unsaturated interpretations; analytic discourse as the adult, verbal “Squiggle Game”).
